a beautiful ride——只是这样的文字……

     Now that I have lived
　　A  lifetime’s worth of days
　　Finally I see
　　The folly of my ways
　　
　　So listen when I sing of
　　The temptations of this world
　　Fancy cars and needles
　　Whisky, flesh and pearls
　　
　　And then in the end
　　It’s family and friends
　　Loving yourself
　　But not only yourself
　　It’s about the good walk
　　And the hard walk
　　And the young girls you’ve made cry
　　It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie
　　
　　Beautiful ride
　　
　　As I stand on the precipice of death
　　My perspective is enormous
　　Every leaf, every cloud
　　I see the hands which have formed us
　　And some days all you got
　　Is a nighttime graveyard walk
　　And you whistle some quick melody
　　To the ghosts down at the dock
　　
　　It’s about the good walk
　　And the hard walk
　　And the young girls you’ve made cry
　　It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie
　　
　　Beautiful ride
　　
　　
　　Sing in to your hand
　　Lead the marching band
　　Don’t you let ‘em fade your colors gray
　　‘Cause when all is said and done
　　When youth is spent and burned
　　You’ll see that it’s all about
　　Music!
　　Flowers!
　　Babies!
　　Sharing the good times!
　　Traveling not just for business!
　　Excepting your mortality!
　　This— is finally what I’ve learned!
　　
　　And then in the end
　　It’s family and friends
　　Loving yourself
　　But not only yourself
　　It’s about the good walk
　　And the hard walk
　　And the young girls you’ve made cry
　　It’s about make a little music everyday ‘til you di-ie
　　
　　Beautiful ride
